Soomin sat at the dinner table, her eyes vacant as she had nothing left to do but to patiently await the day she would visit her young master. At least that's what she believed would happen until Jaha told her otherwise.
"The Demon Lord has decided to extend his time in the forest so you won't be checking on the young master this time."
Soomin was baffled by this sudden news. "Isn't it dangerous to stay in the forest for more than a month—especially at the level Young Master Seo-yoon is at right now?"
The first guardian neither admitted nor denied her words, but it was clear he agreed with Soomin.
"The forest is dangerous in many ways, chief among them is the environment and its effects on the body."
The trees and the animals have adapted to the environment over time, but the same couldn't be said for humans.
"It's a good place for growth, especially for those who have lower cultivation, but only to a certain extent."
